Experiential learning is a hands-on approach that allows for deeper understanding of concepts through action and reflection. Going a step further, work-integrated learning (WIL) connects students with industry and community partners so they can apply their learning and create lasting relationships outside MRU.

Mount Royal University offers a broad selection of work-integrated learning opportunities. Information design students engage in experiential learning throughout their Bachelor of Communication Studies – Major in Information Design degree.

Community Service Learning (CSL): students work on class projects with community partners.

Internships: paid work experience that’s required for graduation.

Research Assistantships: every year our faculty posts a number of RA opportunities that give students meaningful research experience outside the classroom.
